Boise State Fair at the Expo

We love going to the Boise Expo. Our boys have always loved all the activities and exciting shows. We keenly remember how much Oakley loved the Expo. Usually, they have Chinese acrobats performing at these events, but this year they had African acrobats that were very groovy. This was my favorite event.

Max couldn't get enough of the animals. He has NO fear! After he ran out of his alloted cup of food to feed the animals, he held out his hands to any stranger with food like a little beggar. It was so cute. He really loves the animals.

This was Oakley's favorite spot when he last came. He screamed when we had to pull him out. Fortunately, Max was a little more willing, but not much.

Here we have Geoff's favorite event. This was amazing to watch these jeeps climb these steep mountain walls. WOW!

We told Justin he could choose one ride to go on in the carnival section of the Expo. We already knew what he would choose...it's his favorite ride, and chooses the ferris wheel every time. I always take him because the ferris wheel makes Geoff sick!

"Splash Dogs" was new this year, and really fun to watch. We saw some pretty amazing jumps.

Justin laughed so hard at this juggler/comedian. He really was pretty funny. He had quite the variety show, from juggling to fire eating, to balancing acts.

Wow, that looks like a lot of fun. The splash dogs look like they would be a hoot to watch. :)

I don't know for sure, but I imagine. They had a carnival, all sorts of competitions from gardening to quilting. All the winners were on display. Then they had all the events like the dancers, singers, jugglers, etc. Then you could go to where there were exhibits with everything under the sun for sale. Food of every kind to eat, and games to play. Is that like your state fair?
